how do i change the resalution settings?

Hello

Please try to press CTRL+ALT+"+" and/or CTRL+ALT+"-" to dynamically change video frequency
or press CTRL+ALT+BKSPACE to restart graphics layer.

Reconfiguring your xserver-xorg may help you.

A) If you can view graphics Gnome desktop

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal
and jump to step C

B) If you cannot view graphics Gnome desktop

Please press CTRL+ALT+F2 and make login with your user and password
and go on to step C

C)

To make a backup copy of your actual /etc/X11/xorg.conf type:

cd /etc/X11
sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then try to reconfigure your xserver-xorg

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

answer to the simple questions, then restart the pc.

If something goes wrong you can restore the saved copy of your old configuration, open a terminal or login to a virtual terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F2 and type:

cd /etc/X11
sudo cp xorg.conf.bak xorg.conf

and restart the pc, type:

sudo reboot

Hope it helps

Hi Darryl,

It looks like Bhavani has given you some good advice. You can determine if that's necessary first, by attempting to adjust the monitor resolution settings using Gnome. Here's how to get there:

    System > Preferences > Screen Resolution

This will open up a window titled "Monitor Resolution Settings".

You can attempt to adjust the resolution there, and there is also a button that will attempt to detect displays.

Please report back here and let me know if this Solves your question.

Thanks,

Harvey
